I was rightSomething was wrong regarding my proteins extractionBut luckilyThe problems had been solved

It now involves more steps to the methods &, obviously, more time;(

AnywayWhile I'm getting the hang of itI'd already come to my last batch of sample preparationsHahahaHow ironicBut it was a good practice since I need to do another experiment involving the same method but testing for another thing

School is getting pretty alright for me nowMaybe it was because I was not used to getting up at 630am & reaching home at 7pmNext month may probably get busierMolecular work is horribleLuckily I chose to be an ecologist than a biotechnologist >_<

So in the endI went Mong Kok to meet Edwin & Lilian for dinnerOmgIt was so crowded I really wanted to fleeEdwin had a stupid idea to meet as he walked up the street while I walked down the streetBut seriously I wasnt in the mood to look out for himSo I told him to wait in front of a very huge electronic storeWhile waitingI glimpsed at the street performanceLook at that old man on the most rightHe cross-dressed & sang oldiesHe even made up & wore huge ear rings@_@

sighThought can go diving ;(But coz of the typhoon which everyone is soo fearful ofDai lo Edwin did not book the dive trip& thus ending up not going in the endSince he said he's gonna do his report in typhoon or in shine

So

Here I am at homeNot going anywhere else tooExcept for a short trip down to the mall to bring some pens & highlighters

I guess I should write my report tooSo that I can ease the load when I return SGBut I simply have NO mood to do anything!MaybeI'm too familiar with what I was doingThus there is no enthusiasm to put in proper form?

It's been one weekSomehowI feel that I'd achieved quite alot Not academically thoughBut feel that I'd made used of time properly

I went to Tuen Mun today to pick up my 18K gold bracelet that snapped years ago& I walked around the mall for 2 hoursOh my godThe shoesssssssss are soooooooo nice that I cant decide which to buyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy& I bought 3 Uniqlo pants -_-

I bought those pants coz SG doesnt sellas the material is velvet& is out as Fall/Winter 2010 fashion

;DHohoho

Total cost for 3: HKD149 (SGD77+)

Ok mah... 3 Uniqlo = 1 Levi's

There's so much things to buy here& I'm restricting myself badly to get those Since I only have SGD1000 with me for 3 monthsI'm even skipping meals to eat cheap

I like todayBecause Edwin & Lilian came visit me & my neighbourhoodThey've never been to Tin Shui Wai & I took them for a walk around

We had happy time shopping in one of the malls& had great foodWe also visited the entrance of the Wetland Park(because we were late & could not buy the entrance tickets. haha)I think both Lilian & Edwin were happy tooSo was I

It's been a week since I'm backNothing much achievedBut I know there're more to come

I attended a seminar on Friday& was invited for a drink after thatMet many other postgraduatesOf whom there are one that comes from Malaysia & SingaporeThat Singaporean is from NUS & is here to do her Masters research on snakes

WowI think I'm such a coward doing snakes

Snails & snakes sound alike if you have fat tongue

It was fantasticI hope we have such culture in labBut this is highly unlikely

AnywayI got lost in CentralSomehowI was looking for the bus stop that brings me back to Tin Shui WaiBut there are 3 different bus stops along the roadwhich are spaced 100m apartI went to the 2nd first, then walked down to the 1st & then went back further up to the 3rd& the 3rd bus stop was the oneDuhz

It's Saturday todaySlept till almost 12pmShiokHad a walk around the neighbourhood with AuntWeird enoughI'm not so desperately eager to go shoppingI'm restraining myself not to grab anything coz I only had SGD1000 for the next few monthsBut the shoes are really tempting!!!>_<Gonna grab a pair of low-ankle heels, boots & sneakersWahhhhhhhhCrazy

I kinda dread going out of the houseJourneys to ANYWHERE is sooooooooooooooooo fucking long that by the time I'm back homeIt's already 10pmShowered & stuffs - 11pmSurf net & chat with DarDar - till 1am (coz we miss each other so much)or cant sleep until 1am (coz I just cant sleep)& I have to wake up at 630am the next dayTo get to school by 830am

The tiredness never recoversDoesnt it just suck?

TodayI went back SWIMS Had great chat with GrayLoved itThanks to the people there for remembering me too!

I met Lizt & Tom tonight for dinnerIt was pretty last minute but still, we came outEveryone looked goodI guess I was rather inappropriately dressed coz I'm in total summer clothings while everyone is already in autumn wearHmmmm

We dined at Pho Restuarant @ MegaboxTo my surprise, it's almost emptyJust as empty as in Orchard Central& it has a ice-skating ring, which is just as emptyWith my HKU bestiesKinda ended the night having a stroll in IkeaBought my Mysa Gras quilt coz I prefer to hide underneath that softness ;)

I kinda find this trip back HK totally weirdEverything looks so familiar, that I cant describe itIt just reminded me of my undergraduate daysWhere I had to go school daily from Tin Shui Wai to Pokfulam& then taking tram from Sai Yin Pun to Central to take the stupid crowded MTRor walk to Sheung Wan for the bus

These are all happeningAgainAlone

When I'm not missing DarDarI just have that 'back to the past' feelingNot really enjoying itBut as long as I get my things doneHopefullyyI will be gone

& surprisinglyI'm desperate to get back SingaporeEven though I'd complained desperately how much I want to get out of Singapore

Hello!

SorryI'd totally forgotten about blogging since now I've been actively updating my where-abouts in Facebook

AnywayI just left Singapore for Hong KongUnlike any other flightsThis flight is sorta the bestApart from the purpose of taking that particular flightIt is a trip to Hong Kong for businessSortaMy research is my work

I had Cathay Pacific& to my surpriseThe plane was only 60% fullThere were no one around me, beside meSo I got to recline to its maximum & lay across the other 2 chairs

Shiok

The movies were boringLuckily I had my Eat, Pray, LoveNice recommendation by Leena!

The sight of HK airport is just so familiarNot anticipating anything at all& everything about me in HK is gonna be this normal, I supposed
